Billing & Subscriptions
Manage your SMVue subscription, payment methods, and seat assignments.
Billing & Subscriptions is where you manage your SMVue plan, payment methods, and Leader-seat purchases.
Access Billing by going to Settings → Billing (Owner only).
The Workspace Plan
SMVue bills the workspace, not the individual seat, as the paid unit. There is one plan shape for every workspace — self-serve, no "Solo" vs. "Team" tier to choose between:
- Workspace base — $150/month, includes one Leader seat.
- Additional Leader seat — $100/month, per team lead beyond the first. Add as many as your team needs directly from Settings → Billing; no sales conversation required.
- Unlimited Rep profiles (free, scoped to each rep's own data).
- Unlimited Executive profiles (free, read-only).
Annual billing is 20% off either price. For the latest pricing, open Settings → Billing in the app, which always shows live prices, or ask the in-app support chat.
What's Included
- All core coaching tools: dashboard, pipeline, meetings & prep, performance, action items, notes
- CRM & calendar integrations
- Sales Coach (included with the Leader seat)
Multi-Leader Workspaces
Adding a second, third, or twentieth team lead is the same self-serve action as the first: add a Leader seat from Settings → Billing. There is no separate "Team plan" or custom quote for ordinary multi-Leader growth.
Add-ons
Add-ons can be purchased on top of any workspace. Add-on pricing isn't public — contact us for add-on pricing.
- Sales Coach for Execs — Sales Coach access for the Executive profile
- Sales Coach for Reps — Sales Coach access for selected Rep profiles
- Meeting Notetaker — sends a notetaker bot to your calls to transcribe them and produce summaries and pre-call prep, plus a meeting-hour pack for additional recorded hours
- AI credit pack — additional AI usage credits, sold in blocks
Billing Intervals
Choose monthly or annual billing:
Monthly
- Billed every month
- Cancel anytime
- Full flexibility
Annual
- Billed once per year
- 20% off the monthly price
- Annual commitment
To Switch:
- Go to Settings > Billing
- Click Change Billing Interval
- Select Monthly or Annual
- Confirm
Free Trial
Every workspace starts a 30-day cardless free trial (45 days for partner-referred clients) when a CRM is connected:
Trial Includes:
- Full access to plan features
- No plan or payment method required during onboarding
- No automatic billing
After Trial:
- We'll email you before the trial ends and show the billing prompt when it expires
- Subscribe with a payment method to keep your workspace's Leader seat(s) active
- If you don't subscribe, you won't be charged and access becomes restricted
- If support extends an expired trial, trial access resumes through the new end date; an extension does not override a cancellation, refund, or separate account suspension
Adding Seats
Leader Seats
The Leader seat is the only paid seat. The workspace base plan ($150/month) includes one; each additional Leader seat is $100/month (20% off either when billed yearly).
- Go to Settings > Billing
- Click Manage Seats
- Increase Leader seat count
- Click Update
- Confirm
Pricing:
- $150/month base (includes one Leader seat), then $100/month per additional Leader seat
Executive Profiles
The Executive profile is free, read-only, and unlimited on every workspace — it is a permission profile, not a purchased seat. A workspace owner or admin invites a member from Settings > Team and assigns the Executive profile for read-only access across the workspace. There is no separate organization-level Executive signup path.
Rep Profiles
Rep profiles are always free and unlimited. They are scoped to the rep's own data and allow only the focused participation described in the Rep Profile guide.
No need to purchase Rep profiles — just invite reps from Settings > Team.

Proration
SMVue automatically prorates when you:

How It Works:
- You pay only for days used
- Credit applied to next invoice
- No manual calculation needed
Example:
- Today is Dec 15
- Your next billing date is Jan 1
- You add 1 additional Leader seat
- You pay for 17 days (Dec 15-31) prorated
- Full price starts Jan 1
Cancellation
Cancel your subscription anytime:

What Happens:

To Permanently Delete:
- Use Delete Organization in Settings > Data & Privacy, or contact support — this is the only way to permanently remove your data right away
Failed Payments
If a payment fails:
- Stripe automatically retries the charge for a while, with no immediate interruption to service.
- We email the Owner to remind them to update the payment method.
- If the payment keeps failing, access is restricted until billing is resolved.
To Resolve:
- Update your payment method in Settings > Billing
- Service resumes once a payment succeeds
